Sal's takeout

Should one ever wonder about the love this Jays team has for Sal Fasano, there was the sight of Aaron Hill fetching him lunch before today's intrasquad game.

Minutes before the game started, Hill busted out of the clubhouse carrying a takeout tray. When MLB.com's Jordan Bastian gave Hill the 'What the hell are you doing?' shoulder shrug, Hill shouted back, "It's for Sal."

He never broke stride.

Er.

A pool reporter approached Fasano later to confirm delivery. Cheeseburger with all the fixins'. It's been verified.

You can splice through Fasano's plate statistics all the livelong day. There is no good way to quantify how much he means to this team. It goes beyond numbers.

I'm glad they brought Sal back. I'd like to see him remain with the team in a coaching role after his career is over. I recall him helping a couple pitchers out with advice (including Halladay) last season.
